Why are crime statistics not as accurate as sociologists would like?

Crime statistics only include recorded crimes. A lot of crimes go unreported and therefore unrecorded, for various reasons, mainly leading back to the fact that the victim doesn't always report the crime. There is actually much, much more crime happening than we think, because we look at the official crime statistics and it only shows a certain amount, and the crimes commited by certain people. Sociologists explain reasons for this. For example; The official crime statistics show that males are most likely to commit crime against other males. A sociologist would say that this is because men want to live up to the 'macho image', they don't want to admit defeat. If a woman commited a crime against the man, he may be very unlikely to report it. So; a lot of crime commited by women against men goes unrecorded and doesn't appear in the official statistics.


Explain null hypothesis versus alternative hypothesis?

The null hypothesis is that there is no change in the population mean while the alternative hypothesis is that there is a change in the mean. The null hypothesis is stated as Ho:Mu=? in statistics while the alternative hypothesis is stated as Ho:Mu(<,>,≠)? depending on whether you are looking for mu to be greater, less than, or not equal to population mean.
